Why Lecturers Should Embrace
Creating Impactful Learning Videos?
Learning videos have become an essential part of the teaching and learning process, especially following the COVID-19 pandemic. Even in the post-pandemic era, these videos continue to play a key role in hybrid learning, combining face-to-face and online learning media. The primary purpose of educational videos is to present important topics in a way that supports desired learning outcomes, making it easier for students to grasp complex concepts.
These educational learning videos typically combine various elements such as text, diagrams, content video, sound, background music, and motion graphics to enhance the learning experience. However, one of the primary challenges with educational videos is keeping students engaged, whether the videos are brief or longer in duration. To address this, it’s crucial to present content creatively and engage the audience with dynamic visuals and interactive elements. Additionally, the use of high-quality equipment for both audio and visual recordings is vital to ensure clarity and student comprehension.
High standards of production quality—both visual and audio—greatly contribute to the appeal and effectiveness of educational videos. Well-organized, relevant content further aids students in understanding the material and retaining key information. The Center for Teaching and Learning UPH offers comprehensive support for lecturers in developing engaging, high-quality learning videos. By utilizing facilities and expert guidance, lecturers can produce learning videos that enhance student engagement and foster active participation.
